Although not welcomed by all students, the Student Senate did approve, in November 1971, the recruitment efforts of all branches of the military service. When the Marine Corp recruiters showed up on campus in May 1972, FC students picketed peacefully, but some also filled out cards for more information. Armed forces recruiters usually set up booths in the quad area to hand out literature and answer questions, and also advertised in the Hornet and the Torch. This is an Army advertisement from the June 1971 Torch.
